Episode 1 ends where certainty finally gives way to choice.
What began as restraint became exposure. What felt controlled demanded consequence. This arc was never about whether they would cross the line, but about what would remain of them once they did.
Episode 2 moves forward without safety nets. Desire no longer hides in private rooms. Power shifts. Decisions become public. Love, if it survives, must do so without disguise.
